TRANSLATION
Peoria, May 13th 1852
Dear Doctor,
TI should appreciate it if you would let the bearer of this letter,
Mr. Wieland, have the l2th volume of DeCandolle's Prodromus. I like it here very
much. IL already have a few patients and still have time to go into the field.
I already looked over the immediate vicinity of the city and found some things
TI had not known before and also have not seen listed in Gray's flora, f. ji.
Pentalophus longiflorus À DC and one Androsace (I believe occidentalis) Pursh.
In determining these I was able to use the statements I got out of De Candolle
and which are the only help I have with regard to such plantss I also collected
plenty of mosses and determined part of them. With regard to the Pulsatilla I
have doubts and may be you will have the kindness to determine it based on my
description. The plant is 4! high. The root is bulbous, root leaves three
stemmed, three lobed, three columned, :involucral leaves ? Sphatic, on top three
lobed, distant from the flower about 3/4 of the entire stem, calyx lobe 8 longly,
once haïiry outside, always many little fruits, matty, style as long as the same
but not long tailed, therefore rather belonging to the genus Anemonanthea,
according to the habitat rather belonging to Pulsatilla.
[Drawing of plant |
Please let me know. The book I promise to return as soon as I have used
it. 1 am not very anxious to come to St. Louis again myself. It is disgusting
enough to hear what is going on there from a distance. Beatus ille qui procul.-
Many warm greetings,
Sincerely yours,
Friedrich Brendel

Peoria, November 9, 1853.
Dear Doctor,
I am sending you through Mr. Fischer from here the first volume of DC and
ask you to excuse me for keeping it so long and also to permit me to keep the
second for some time more since I still need it. I enclose a list of the Mexican
plants according to numbers. Do you know of a more recent flora of Mexico? I
should appreciate it if you would let me know a man from whom LI could obtain the
writings printed by Congress at its own cost regarding the export firms. Às far
as Î know they are not being sold in bookstores and can only be obtained by such
a way. Î have Fremont's expedition of 1842-44 as well as the one of Emory etc.
1846. But I believe there are later ones and I especially would like to have
those which are expected to take place in future years. When I was in St. Paul
last spring the expedition of the northern lines just left and when L returned
here, [I learned that at the same time one left from St. Louis and that our Germans
were engaged. Had I known about this earlier I should have gone with one of them
on any conditions. Unfortunately, I learned about such things here too late. This
summer Î[ did not have much time for botanising; however, I found a plant which
jou could not determine whether it is Astragalus or Phara? in fruit. This winter,
I shall earnestly work on the mosses, I have obtained again the work by Carl
Müller and am expecting a micro specimen from Oberhäuser in Paris; L believe one
can find many things in this field. On the lime stone hills at Galma LI found a
pretty fern Cheilanthes vestita. In Clayton County, Iowa, I botanized for three
weeks, but did not find anything which we do not have also here in Illinois. I
firmly intend, if I am not lucky enough to join an expedition, to go on my
own to New Mexico and south from there. I am tired of sitting still here. You
would do me a favor if you would give me your advice concerning the preliminary
studies.
Greetings,
Sincerely yours,
F. Brendel

Peoria, March 3, 1954
Dear Doctor,
The second volume of DeCandolle I have turned over these days to the
young Hunik who will give it to you as soon as he comes to St. Louis. IL could
have sent it already end of December, if I had had an opportunity. I cannot
blame you for getting angry about the long delay, and cannot really justify
it, only ask your forgiveness; it is hard to do any studying during the hot
part of the year. My sincerest thanks for the beautiful books you sent me.
I shall collect for Washington. I was not able to collect a single specimen
of Stragalus since I could not even think of making any excursions and only
found this plant in fruit just by accident. The outlook for next summer is
even worse, Since my partner is leaving for the east. I shall stay here at
least one more year. In the meantime, I shall prepare a trip to Mexico.
You know Wislicenus; would you be kind enough to ask him to send me his Tour
to Northern Mexico? I should like to read all such works before and I wrote
to New York about them, but they are not available in the book trade. When
Douglas comes here I shall also ask him to send me his report. I shall have
to bother you with some more questions. How much has been published of Kunth's
Enumeratio and are the Graminae included? If I am not mistaken, it starts
out with them; or which is the best book for the study of grasses?. Do you
know Barton's Flora of North America? Is it complete and worth buying?
Where were the floras of Hooker, Michaux, Pursh and Nuttal published and
which one is the best?. Excuse all these questions. In case you are not
tired of helping me out with books, I shall not keep them so long again.
With warmest greetings,
Yours
Fr. Brendel

Peoria, June 9th, 1854.
Dear Doctor,
The time limit you gave me has run out and you will probably have received
the book which I gave to Mr. Fleck from here. My best thanks! Would you be so
kind to Send me a copy of the bofanical part of Wislicenus' journey in which I
am, of course, mostly interested; I should appreciate it very much. I have
started to collect for Washington. Up to now I have gotten hold of a half dozen
snakes and put them in wine spirit; I am expecting my youngest brother from
Germany who takes great pleasure in such things and whom I shall send out to
collect since I myself don't have that much time. Doesn't there exist a good
work about American insects? About the fish I spoke to a fisherman who will obtain
for me all kinds of species. I had a large tin box made for this purpose; however,
L see now that a barrel would have been more practical, in a round container
not so much gets cut off.
E. G. Steudel in Stuttgart published a synopsis about the Glumaceae. It
is supposed to contain eleven issues of which two have already been published.
I always think it is best to buy such monographs since the universal floras
either remain finished or are some times incorrect as the one by Dietrich.
SO Ï have obtained some time ago the mosses by C. Müller and the lichens by
Schaerer. In Berlin also the volumes of the Prodromus published so far are
obtainable at a low price, 44 Gr. per part. If I can afford it, I shall buy
it. l received news from Grosshäuser in Paris that my microscope is finally
on its way. I am looking forward to receiving it since, considering my
special love for cryptogams I certainly felt the lack of it.
L hope that the political situation has somewhat settled and that I can
ask you a favor concerning the Report. Don't you know a man or can you get
me in touch with someone who would do it. I can imagine that things which
don't mean anything to a politician he would not be too willing to do. I hope
that L am not too tiresome with all my qu stions, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
F. Brendel

ar Doctor,
You will rerenber that you promised me a copy of the botanical part of
Wislizeni's journey. I hope you don't mind ny reminding you of that at this tire.
At the same tire I can tell you that I can send you something new if you wish
it or don't already have it. The first six issws of Annales des Sciences
Naturelles of this year contain som interesting works, among others by
Trécul about Nymphaeaceae and Nelumbriaceae, notes about somæ...............
by Fischer and Myer; then I reœæived Musée botanique de Delessert containing
very welcomæ notes about botanical œlebrities, journeys and collections. Of
Steudel's Glumacese I have recæived the first five issws. They contain Gramineae
almost complete Oryze4é 94 species in 17 œnera, Phalarideae 83 species in 19
gnera. Paniceae 1403 species in 42 genera, Nipaceae 296 species in 8 qnera,
Agrostideae 513 species in 33 gnera, Anadinaceae 14 species in 9 Ͼnera,
Pappophoreæ 51 species in 14 gnera, Chlorideae 226 species in 28 gnera,
Arenceae 421 species in 16 œnera, Festucaceae 1211 species in 44 œnera,
Banbucaceae 106 species in 12 gnera, Horderaceae 260 species in 18 œnera,
Rottboelliaceae 80 species in 18 gnera. ‘The end of the fifth issue starts with
Andropogon with 458 species. ‘The strongst gnus is Panicum 850 species (N. Setarÿa,
Digitaria etc.). ‘The whole is not supposed to excæeed more than 11 issws, 880 p.
The plant gæography could have been considered a little bit more.
Since sewral months my younæst brother is with me who was engaæd a
great deal in entomlogy and already started to collect. It will be better
now collecting in the east than it used to be. It is just a pity that in order
to eam one's daily bread one has to neglect science. Because of my brother, I

Dear Doctor,
I should hawæ answered your last letter a long time ago. I hope you will
forgive me, it was just negligæncæ of which I am quilty quite often. M thanks
for the notes concerning Wislizenus' plants. I have never heard of or notiϾd an
alligator in Lake Peoria. ‘The Leersia lenticularis I have not yet found here, om
the other hand I have a specimen from Fayetteville, St. Clair Co. Last week I
finally received my microscope from Cherhauser which I had ordered a year and
a half ago. I should appreciate it if you could œt me Tuckerman's lichens. M
brother will return soon from Stark Co. You asked what he has leamed. He
attended high school until he was 16 years old, then he attended for several
years the Polytechnical School, where he was especially concemed with chemistry
and he continued his studies in this field for one more year in the laboratory
Of Prof. Gorups in Erlangn; there he also studied sam photography and I therefore
ordered a camera for him in G@rmany which one can use for making natural
science illustrations. He shall stay with re for one year and study under my
direction, then I am thinking of sending him to Ann Arbor in Michigan and then
maybe for one year to a Grman university for the study of conservation. He is
only 21 years old and is much interested in the natural sciences. I beliew he
will be of great help to re some tire. You were asking mæ about a young physician
in St. Louis who is looking for a better place. We have here three Grman physicians
With a Ph. D. degree. Dr. Boscoten and I almost equally dividé among ourselvwæs the
practice concerning the Gzrman population. Dr. Niglas does not have much to do,
at least not much among the Grmans. A young man who called himself a physician
returned to his original business, that of a phammmacist; finally, a fifth one who
cannot speak Grman seems to me to be a barber. We don't haw too much to do here
since the health of the 3000 Grmans living here £s in a much better state as in

St. Louis. However, I wouldn't wish to have a much larær practice than I havwæ
now. So I would not advise a physician who wants to com here not to com, on
the oontrary, ifhe is an educated man, he would be most welcomæ to me and rw

I should like to do mteorologqical studies, if I only could gt hold of a
good baronmeter. ‘The volumes of De Candolle which I have not read yet, I should ask for

ar Doctor,
I Send you herewith the Steudel,. You may use it as long as you want:
however, Should you use it only for a short time, you might give it to
Mr. Alshauser where Miss Miller from here, who is staying there for a while,
could bring it back to me. Howver, there are so many opportunities to
send such things without cost. Many thanks for the specimens you sent. Maybe
You would be so kind later on to send me branches with the fruits also.
Don't you think that this Paspalum is that described by Steudel as P. tectum?
The diagnosis rather fits also as the spikelets are smoth. It was
collected by Dr. Welsh in St. Clair Co.

Friedrich Brendel

T'RANSLATION
Peoria, Decænber 2, 1858
ar Sir:
Since I learned of your safe return from Germany, I am taking this oppor-
tunity to wrte to you and to ask you sewral questions. I am just starting to
write a short paper about Illinois woody plants for the next volume of the
Transaction of gr. Sci. and some things are not quite clear to me. vYhen I was living in
St. louis, I noticœd in Falling Spring a ré I have no speciren,
but only a dark memory; is this Taxodium or Taxus. Does Taxus canadiensis
exist at all that far south? Furthermore, perhaps you would have the kindness
to give rm som information about the œographical distribution of som of
the southern Species. Magnolia umbrella Lam. , Briodendron Tulipifera? and
Vitus indivisa Willd., Wistaria frutesæns DC? Robinia pseudo-accacia L.
(dos it grow wild at all?) Gleditschia monosperma Walt., Liquidanbar stryaciflua L.,
Viburnum obovatum Walt., Diospyros virginiana L, & Bumlia lanuginosa Pers.,
Bignonia capreolaté L., Benzoin adoriferum Nees.? Boryo ligustrina Wil1d.
(which Nuttal mentions in Trav. in Ark.), Taxodium disticum. Does Faqus exist
in Illinois? I have much trouble with the oaks. Does Q. tinctoria and Q. coccinea
grow together. I cannot distinqguish them, and in any event am only half and
half convincæd about the identity of acknowledgd species. Around Peomia Jrow
Q. macrocarpa, alba, prinus var. discolor, imbricana, rubra, tinctoria, castanea.
Concemning the œccinea I am in doubt, the coloring of the leaves in the autumm
which gave the species its name, is no diagnosis as far as I am concemed, sincæ
I noticæd all color nuances on the sane trees, the leaf shape varies in all
oëks, so that that does not mean anything, pubescence seems to me not important
at all, the fruit alone decides; this, however, is described so similar in all
floras (Gray, Beck, Pursh, Michaux) that I am unable to find any: d‘sisive

difference. Pursh says (ad Q. discolor/tinctoria & vinicosa Mich.) he young
expending leaves are covisred with a white down on both sides, which is not the
case with either Q. #ubra or Q. coccinea. I myself have seen the young leaves
Of Q. rubra which grows here in larg nunbers never smooth, on the contrary,
cowred entirely with som kind of down; this makes me suspicious of such
statements. How many species are being made on the evidence of a few specimens
sent from far æway countries and being accepted by other botanists; how many
oaks of American origin were made in Europe of which one does not know anything
in this country. I believe that one has to study and observe most of the
gnera of woody plants and their species for many years at different times of
the year and at different aægæs and under special soil conditions before one
can make a new species. Jaques Gay recently made a new division of the oaks
conserving most of the sub-divisions of Endlicher and Spach. Here, the sub-
divisions of Robur of the American species alba, obtusiloba, lyrata and prirmus
are differextiated from Elæbolanus with Q. macrocarpa and obtsiloba only by
the fact that the latter have elongated lobe scales. But here we have Q. prinus
var. discolor also with loose elongated leaw scales. While in other respects
he cuts out species, he conserves ©. olivarfomus, with what right I don't know.
The last work of the late Liebmann is supposed to be published soon, it is
about the American oaks. How many species of oaks in Plinius do you know? I
should appreciate it if you would obtain for me specimens and fruits of the
above mentioned southern species; however, especially of the following species:
Q. obtusiloba, Q nigra and Q. ustris. I should welcome it to receive with
these always leaves of the young root shoots; however, should you have no
duplicates, you would not be able to œtain these for me until next year.
Zesculus flava, Euonymus americanus I have never seen, ; do they grow there?
Zesculus glabra is here very numerous. I collected woods of about 60 species

and examined the specific weight and intend, if possible, to examine the weidht
Of coal and ashes. Do you know anybody in southern Illinois who could obtain
for me the woods growing there? My botanical tools have increased in the mantire.
I bought DeCandolle, also Walper's repertories and annals, also Kunth's
Enumæeratio, Endlicher's cmifers, etc.
Mteorological observations I have sent to Washington for the last three
years; however, I find that in the manner they have to be made for them, they
may arouse popular interest, but are of little interest for plant physiology and
biology, sincϾ things as for instance the direct influence of the sun rays,
warmth of soil, sums of the useful sun warmth remain unconsidered. I was quite
busy with zoology or zootony during the last years; however, I have not yet sent
anything to Washington, because I am too concmed about these things; I send
everything to Halle to Prof. Giebel with #hom I have established a friendly
relationship and who, in my opinion, makes better scientific use of the material
that would be done in Washington. Giebel already published some things delivered
by me. ‘The American superficiality which makes of a specirmen a vulpus MARTO. » « « «
and delivers pages and pages of descriptions of the hair of a muse, is disgusting
to me. Therefore, I still have to send any such material to Washington, even
though that would be to ny advantagæ. If I only could æt a position where I
could do nothing else, but work in the field of natural sciences and not to have
to Worry about the daily bread and necessarily have to work in ny practiæ of
which I am so tired, but there is much that stands in my way. Should you be
able to give me som useful information in this respect, please don't foræt re.
Giebel had the idea that perhaps a trade in specimens with Europe could be established
from here. Giebel himself intends to do that and already has contacted friends in
Chile, Mxico and the West Indies. However, such an occupation demands also time which

which would be lost for the study of pure scienϾ, even it is not so outside the
sphere as the treatment of most of the Hottentots. Please excuse my many
qæstions and reqwsts which I hope you can fulfill and I shall always be
grateful to you.

TRANSLATION
Dear Doctor,
T am very happy to have received your letter, My sincerest thanks for
your notes which are very useful to me, With regard to the shrub which I have
seen near Falling Spring on the limestone hills, but with fruits, and which
certainly is either Taxus or Taxodium, you might perhaps be interested to see
it yourself sometime. Thuya grows wild here just like the junipers, apart
from them no other conifers. Taxus grows in Winnebago Co,, also Pinus Banksianz
and Strobus. I am especially interested in your note about the beech. \hether
it also wanders in Europe? Do you know the interestine paper by Vauppel
about :+7 ZT have written an article about the o2ks in our area for the next
issue of the Transactions of agri, Soc. of Tllinois with illustrations with
which I took great trouble to make them come out well, I did not describe
the single species, but wrote about the various parts, flower, fruits, leaves,
buds, bark, wood etc. and 50 put the species together; of the neglected male
amenta T at least described those growing here. Of those not growing here I
unfortunately only had specimens not in flower and therefore I am interested
in obtaining specimens of those every time of the year and of various ages.
We have here only Q. alba, macrocarpa, Prinus discolor Mich., castanea, umbri-
caria, tinctoria and rubra. hs far as tinctoria and coccinea are concerned, I
believe that the number of our species should be reduced rather than increased;
T have talked about that before and also in my 2bove mentioned article which
will be printed during the summer and I shall take the liberty of sending to you,
The kind existing mostly here is Michaux's var. sinecosa,. If there is a species
of coccinea, it is certainly gaifficult to differentiate it according to the
existing descriptions.” T am certain to receive soon Michawx's work on the
American oaks, the illustrateds ïîn the new edition of Nuttal's Silva which Î

“The Californian Q. Kellogii Newberry is according to the illustration in P.
Reich Rep. certainly nothing else than a variety of tinctoria.

labyrinth,
In January I was in Springfield to investisgate whether the legislature might
give something for a botanical survey of the state; Governon Bissell to whom
24
Mr. Korner had the kindness to lead me, vromised to think of me in such an event,
However, nothing could be done at that time, After I have studied the Illinois
flora for 9 years, I believe that a specific account of the geographical distribu-
tion of the species in the state and the observations concerning their behavior
with regard to soil conditions, growth, time of flowering, of fruiting etc. might
be of more use than finding new species in the RScky Mountains which I had so much
longed for to do. I, therefore, decided to wait quietly here and to continue to
work until a more favorable opportunity presents itself,
You would do me a great favor if by corresponding with vou you would let me
profit from your experience and should you have the opportunity of collecting
completely unkown species as Brumelia, Borya, etc. and to send me specimens, I
should be sincerely grateful, In any event, I sh211 go ahead and send you what
you requested of the local,woody plants. I also sh211 send my duplicate sanakes

Dear Doctor,
I am sending you a part of Emory's journal which contains a paper
about Vauppel's work, the following number which contains the continuation
T do not have, that is why I wrote down the rest for you. The conifers which
T found near Falling Spring up at the ddge of the bluff îis certainly no
juniperus, but probably a Taxus, the foliage is very similar to that of
Pinus abies. Had I found the shrub down near the ruins of the park, I should
have thought it was planted; I cut off a piece at that time, but lost it
later. Should you go over there, I should ask you for some specimens of
Borya. Ï am beginning to make a living collection of the brushes by cuttings.
The Paspalum is probably only a variety of P. fluctans Kunth. But what
is the other one which was enclosed? Both are different.
What is the enclosed little plant which is growing near springs between
moss? I think it is a Lomentariaceae. Gay makes two large sections of the
oaks, Esculus and Ilex among the first as sub-division TI. Robur Fol, membr.

Dear Doctor,
Finally IT find some time to write to you. That I have a selfish reason
for doing so you will see from the enclosed list of Southern Illinois plants
which I should like to have and of which you may let me have one or the other
or could you interest a botanist there to collect these for me? The woody
plants I, of course, would like to have from al1 times of the year, Beginning
of November I once spent half a day trying to obtain the roots of Nelumbium
but without success, IT brought up several plants out of water several feet
deep, but to my great disappointment I did not find a trace of a swelling,
How is that possible? Didn't I choose the right time, but you wrote me that the
tubers were already found in October and that they last all through the winter,
Next year I shall dig a large ditch and fill it with mud and put into it the
entire plant so that I can observe it at various times, Could you tell me whether
the beech grows in Iowa? As improbable as it seemed to me, I found it ïin
Olshausens Iowa mentioned among the trees of that state while it was not mentioned
anywhere in the Geology of Iowa, My brother brought me specimens from Baton
Rouge, La. I also thought that it did not grow there; does it still grow in
Arkansas, Nuttal does not mention it anywhere, What does Nuttal mean when he
mentions Populus angelisans* and what is the difference between Pop. monilifera
and angulata, or is there none? Excuse all my many questions, It is either only
one species or they get mixed up; usually one only finds the one mentioned and
the other not all or vice versa, Also, I have no proof for the fact that
Q. tinctoria and coccinea are probably one and the same, Dr, Walsh in Rock Island
found out that the two species of Cynipos querc. coccinea and Cynipos quercui
spongifera are identical, Since botanical geography is my hobby, I should like
to buy several publications or at least to borrow them and which L'éan't find
anywheres they are Riddel's Flora of western states, his Mlorula ludivicianae
(New Orleans plants), Short and Peters' Kentucky plants (c2talogue) and Len
Plants of Ohio (or Cincinnati?), You woul4 do me a ereat fevor if vou could
acquire these or other catalogues of the western flors, For the agricultural
society I described in the next volume of their Transections the "Trees in Winter"

by Van Eys and Reïinwardt,

with illustrations of the buds; unfortunately my drawings which I make as careful
as possible usually are done very poorly, I don't know whether the legislature
decides on the printing. Our Illinois Nat. Hist, Society is a very lame
institution: most of their members are nothing but collecting-happy children;
to get many specimens'' is the main thing, the best people, f.i. Dr. Walsh
are stayine away. My brother went to Florida as contract physician, Leconte
got him the job; my old and faithful collector Bischoff has been employed by
the Expedition to Russian America as collector of insects; I have asked him
to collect seeds too up there. The expedition is to go up along the coast from
San Francisco. I envy these two people, because IT have to stay here, Family,
a wife and ? 1/2 children,

Dar Doctor:
Would it be possible for you to œhtain several books for m for a short
time which I could not find anywhere. Of course, I should prefer to buy them
and should you know where one or the other may be obtained, please let me know.
However, whatever you own yourself, you my perhaps let m have by tuming
them over to ny mother-in-law, Mrs. Muller, Who is now staying with Olshausen
and at the same time you may state the time you want them retumed. They are:
Riddell's Flora of western states, Ridd&æll Flora ludovicianae, Agassiz Lake Superior,
Short Catalogue of Ky Plants and a report about a trip to Illinois (buried in some
journal), then Plantae Lidnheimriana, Fendleriana, Ganbelianæ, Thurberinae,
also the catalogæ of the Gyer collection in Hook. Journal of Bot.
For som time I have been collecting material for a work on plant gæography
and for a history of the progress of botanical scienæ in North America. Many I

Œlorado, Fremont, Emory, Marcy, Steinberg, Long's lst Expedition. Richardson
Arctic, Mxican boundary. Planta Wridhtia Fremontianae). However, the ones
mentioned above I could not find anywhere. ‘The new things are printed in

next Summer when I havw time, I shall look for more. Furthermore, one
Gntiana about which I am in doubt, I still have one speciren from St. Clair
Co., it seems to be the sam, but with dull top lobes: if it is Laponia it
has not been described correctly anywhere; I thought it might be affinis, but
I have never seen it up to now. Please, could you give me some information

Dear Doctor,
TI take this oprortunity to send you through Mrs, Kraft some seeds
which I have received from California, The 2corns I can only consider to be
a. agrifolia, which does not agree with the observations of DeCsndolle,
Therefore, I also sent a portion to DeCandolle, What might the Leguminos2e
be? The seeds were collected by Mr, Bischoff who was with the telegraph
expedition and who was again engaged for two more years. He is collecting
insects for the Smithsonian and the Chicago Academy, Unfortunately, the acorns
don't seem to be capable of germination; however, the Leguminosae certainly.
Last summer I bred a young Gleditschi ferox (?) from 20 year old seed
which I brought with me from Germany. Also other Leguminosae, f,i,. medicago,
still germinates which was just as old. I have received a portion of seeds
from Schnitzleïin in Erlanger, among them Pyrethrum voscum from which,
as you know, the Pryische' insect powder is made, I enclose some seeds,
also seeds of European beeches capable of germination. They were only
collected last autumn.

TRANSLATION
Peoria, August 9th
Dear Colleague,
With great pleasure I received you letter today, together with your
article about the oaks and read it immediately with great interest. Since Lam
often apt to delay my answers, I shall reply immediately this time.
That we have not heard from each other for a long time is not entirely
my fault. About four years ago I once sent you an unpublished work of mine
about the geographical distribution of Euphorbia. Since I never heard any more
about it, I began to doubt that you ever received it or that you vere/Th {tssed
put it aside. Since it was not very important to me, and since I did not want
to impose on you, I did not want to ask any more about it. The history of botany
and plant geography are my main studies. Perhaps you saw in the Naturalist my
article on 'Collected notes on American Oaks'. It appeared in the May and June issue
1670 +, Of Quercus imbricaria and coccinea we have here a specimen close to the
city limits. There were originally three of them and in building a road it was
supposed to be cut down, two had already been cut down when I intervened and
contacted the Board of Supervisors to ask for grace for the third one and happily,
I met with success. I have one specimen of Q. lyrata collected by Varey in
Union Co. but without fruits. Without the label, I would have thought it to be
Q. macrocarpa whose leaf shapes are very strange. I have a specimen from Georgia
collected by my brother which cofresponds very much with the illustration in
Michaux' (Chênes américaines). The Illinois specimen has much more dried up
leaf lobes. As far as oaks are concerned, the fruits should always be sent with
the specimens.
If you permit, I should like to send you a package of plants about which
1 am in doubt, also some hybrid forms of Verbena. De Candolle puts Q. agrifolia
in his Sect. I, par. 1 (ovula abortiva infera) and remarks especially that among
other things he examined the fruits of this. I have examined a great number of
these oaks and I always found the orula on top, just as you did as I see from
your statement. I also grew some young plants, but they lived onty two years.
I also had a Q. lobata from seed and kept it alive for six years in a pot, this
year it died. I was in doubt so long as to where to plant it best and to find
a secure place until it was too late.
You ask me whether I am still busy with botany. Unfortunately too much
s0, that is what my wife says. Unfortunately also, because I therefore remained

a poor devil for, since with the exception of a large and valuable library IL have
nothing. I could have had a good and large practice if the natural sciences had
not taken up too much of my interest. IL also did not stay with one thing, because
I studied everything I obtained in all branches of the natural sciences. Since
I never liked my physician's practice and L also stayed in this profession only
to make a living, I had always hoped to get a job as a teacher which would have
brought me much more pleasure. However, since nobody offered me such a job, I
never reached that goal. Now one gets old and older without having done anything
satisfactorily.
1 hope you won't forget me in the future and make me happy by sending me
similar writings; my best thanks.
Sincerely yours,
Friedrich Brendel
* It is doubtful that the date given on top of this letter, namely August 9, 1952
is correct, since Brendel published his article about the oaks in volume 4 of
the American Naturalist in 1870. (Translator).

Ewc's by Englmann February 6th, 1877)
Peoria, Ill.
T'RANS LATTON
Dar Doctor,
My best thanks for your letter of January 21st. Your doubts cmœming
my opinon about the terminal buds my be justified, especially sinϾ I
did not make a clear finition of ny termina. I based ny opinion on the
fact that in woody plants with buds standing opposite to each other, but
without terminal buds, a terminal bud develops which represents a whole
leaf circle, while the terminal bud of the species with altemate buds
is only the terminal bud of the last dweloped member of a leaf circle
going in to the spiral. Of course, this terminal bud usually œntinws into
a Straight axle, but often, f. i. in the oaks there is very much doubt which
of the opposite standing buds is the real one. I went far back in ny memory
to find out where I had read something similar, finally I remenbered that
Mræn oœ mde a similar remark many years ago with regard to the Linden.
With regard to Qwrcus coccinea- I remarked in the June issw of the American
Naturalist in 1870 the following : The Qwrcus œccinea, wherever EL found it
here (Peoria) had a conical pointed tomentose fiv ridæd bud, with fiv rows
o f Scales and I was sure I should never see it other#ise. Now I œt from
Northem Illinois a nunber of specimens with the ac®ms and all other
characters decidedly those of Q. œccinea, but som of them with smooth round
buds, just as in Q. rubra. Apparently, there is a great nunber of intermediary
forms between Q. coccinea and tinctoria on one hand and Q. rubra and palustris.
Now to a matter which is dear to my heart and with regard to which I should
like to hawæ your advicæ. For a long time I havwæ been thinking of Southem
Florida and its flora where, as far as the plant œogranhy is conœmed, I hawæ
a different opinion than Grisebach as described in his œogramhical distribution
0 L 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
cm copyright reserved
D —
o f the plants of West Indies and in the second wlumæ of his "Veætation dr
Erde", which I also already expressed in an article in the American Naturalist
as well as in Giebel's Zeitschrift. Grisebach not only underestimates the plants
common to Southem Florida and the West Indies, but he also seems to assure
that all plants which are marked Va or Ca-Fa are also growing in Southem Florida.
O £f these, however, I have no List. Sincæ ny mans do not allow an exploration trip,
it always remained an wnfulfilled wish. It now occurred to me that in this country
sometines a rich man would sacrifiæ something for such purposes and that Shaw
might be such a man. If this man would make the mans available if I promised him
to deliver to him all the material I can find on this expedition, as seeds, dried
and living plants, zoological material etc., I should like to undertake such a
trip and, if necessary, to give him as a collateral for faithfully fulfilling the
contract my not entirely worthless liblaIY. sinc® I kn®w the man only by name
as the generous founder of a botanical garden, I should like to hear from you
1f it is advisæble to contact him without risking a blunt refusal which would
be very painful to me. Would you haw the kindness to give me your frank opinion
with regard to this project?
I n©œw rather regret that earlier, when the opportunity to saw a little was
more favorable, I just livd for the present and now will probably haw to live
with ny large family from hand to mouth for the rest of ny life. However,
crying dœsn't help.- - -
Soon I shall take the liberty to send you a packaæ of plants, of which I
am in doubt, for determination. I hawæ already arranœæd a set and would have
sent it long ago if I were not afraid I might have forgotten samething and
would hawæ to send a second shiprent.
With friendly greetings,
Sincerely yours,

Because of the or&r I havwæ here, it was Sitting under a pile of papers.
SinϾ now, only a few days ago, Miss Emma Smith, our secretary and ardent

Dar Colleaaæ,
Please excuse me for not replying immediately after reϾipt of your
kind shipment. I am doing so now and expressing my sincϾrest thanks. Do
you know whether Habenaria hyperborea exists anywhere in Europe exϾpt in
Ireland where Hooker lists it. Gray designates it in his Mnual as (Eu.)
which cannot mean Ireland alone. ILedebour and Wahlenberg do not know it
in Russia and Lappland. Sincœæ Ireland œrtainly doœæs not belong to the
European flora in the widest sense, I doubt that Gray's statement is
correct. I do not on a Flora hibernica. This matter interests me sincæ I
am now busy with a work on plant gœography. I haw the same doubt concerning
Smilacina stellata Dsf. Could you gi rm som information concœming this?
2S far as I knœw, the next meeting of the naturalists is taking placæ in
St. Louis. If I can make it possible somhow, I shall attend and then havw
the pleasure to see you again after such a long time. What are my plants
doing?

Dear Doctor:
May T ask you to answer several questions with regard to the history of
botany in America. I have just written an article for our next meeting (Peoria
Scientific Association). Notes about joumeys and works in the area of botany in
North America from Comuti to Michaux and should like to continu this until at
least 1850. I nunbered my qwstions so that you only have to write shortly about every
nunber, what you know about it.

Dear Doctor.

With pleasure I want to tell you what I know about the two ahls, Martin Vahl
born 1749 died in 1804, He has never been in Greenland, traveled in the south of
Europe and North Africa and worked on the Flora Danica (volumes 6 and 7) 2s the
successor of Müller until his death, also West Indian vlants collected by Ryan,
e
Jens Vahl born 1796,died in 1854. J, said in his report about the rlants of
Greenland in Rinks work, reprinted in Etzel's Greenland: "Of considerable more
importance are the rich collections of Dr. J. Vahl, This tireless and careful
collector stayed about nine years in Greenland with the support of the king. During
this time he constantly trasveled between the south tin and the 73° NB and with
penetrating eyes he investigated the country from 2 botanic2l viewvoint so
intensively that it can h2rély be expected to get many new floristic contributions
in the future." It does not say in which years this took place, probably between
1821-1836 during which time Hornemann's third edition of Fôorsôrg til en Dansk
oeconomick Planteläre apne2red in which the plants collected by Vehl were deseribed,
À
In Lange's list I found: "Isoetes lacustris L, 60° -60°13! (Jessermint) Vanl.
After Hornemann's death (1841) Shouw and Vahl completed the Flora Danice in 1843,
# n T1? 3 < 2 :
In Musee botanique de Delessert a Frederick Vahl is mentioned of whom I
don't know anything. Perhaps the first name is 2 mistake, possibly 2rising from
Vahl, F. (filius). The collectors are listed according to countries whose plants

are in the Museum, 1. e,: Spitzberg, Greenland, Norway. Frederick Vahl. E. Robert
Laestadius Martins Hornemann, Agardt. In a different place it says: Il (Martins)
avait séjourné de nouveau au Spitzberg et dans la haie de la }
Monsieur Vahl fils, These trips took place in the years 1838-39, In "Du Spitzber:
au Sahara" Martins says on page 84: En 1838 et 1839, un botanist danois, Mfonsieur)
Vahl et moi avons recueilli à Bell-sound, à Magdalena bay et aSmeerenberg 57
espèces. Possibly, this was both times a son of Jens Vahl, who was a botanist and
named Fredick. However, I don't know anything about such one, But it is certain
that the one botanizinge in Greenland was Jens Vahl,

Peoria, October 1882,
I am enclosing herewtih, dear colleague, the 12th volume of DeCandolle
with the request for your permission to keep the followine two volumes for
sometime longer, Since TI am especially interested in the Labiateñne and this
is a large family with many American and Mexican species, the work on them
was à big job which, of course, took time, The hot season and the lerger
practice which I have lately, delsyed the return of the volume. Please eycuse
this. Since the beginning of August I have a partner, Dr, Bokoten, a physician
with a very good scientific education and we have a lot of work to 00; LCR
only very little botanizing, only when I ha@ to travel through the country I
.
used the opportunity. These days I found a Cassia (according to the fruit and
habitus) of which I am in doubt, In Gray's flora only three are listed of which
two are common, however, not the third, In Beck's botany another species is
listed C,. fasciculata, the description of which corresponds with my specimen in
so far as the flowers (or fruits) since I did not find it in flower have latera21
fascicles (15-20 fruits). The fruits curved and ascending, The flowers do not
correspond, because they have double pinnates (Approximately 10 pinnates), the
leaves very small oblong, 1 nerve and uneven at the base, Stems woody, smooth,
Root long and tough, somewhat knotted and Slanting, It is growing in sand at the
lake shore with Crotalaria sagittalis, Polanisia graveolens, Clematis Viorna
etc. When I have sorted out the plants collected this year, I shall send you
those specimens about which I am in doubt and ask you to determine them.
Greeti nes,
Respectfully,
F, Brendel

Dear Doctor,

Your kind letter which I just received was a great pleasure. It is not my

fault that the work found its way to Hungary. In the beginning it was my intention to
have 2 friend in Germany look over the vegetation conditions here, Since, however,
the work was rather voluminous, I thought I might just as well rublish it, My
friend Koch wrote me that the Regensburg Flora w2s willing to print it if the
charts were omitted, I had received the same request vreviously from other
journals, so I tola them I could not agree to that, hut I did not want to have
anything further to do with it, that he could do with it hat he pleased, Finally,
after several years I received the news that Otto Hermann of the Hungarian Nation2l
Museum who was in contact with L. Koch because of spiders, wanted to print the whole
work. So it appeared "at the other end of the world", unfortunately with so many
printing mistakes of which I found several not yet corrected after I had send you a
copy. I do not want to make a mere translation into English, nor an excerpt as
Karl Müller in Halle did in his "“Natur'"'. But I had intended to re-edit and enlarge
+4
the whole work and to publish in book form if TI could expect to at least cover my costs.
As far as Plantago is concerned I have to admit that Ÿ did not pay any
attention to it at all since I considered it to be the introduceä Pl, major.
After I had read your letter I looked it up in Gray's Flora of North America and
found there that it was easy to make a mistake i
more carefullys this should happen next year.

The above-mentioned Dr. Ludwig Koch is a nephew of the botanist in Erlangen
and the son of the spider Koch, and is now himself a main authority in this field, I
have often sent him local spiders, while he sent me a copy of his beautiful work about

Dear Doctor,
Today I looked in my herbarium to see whether I had some specimens of the
supposed Plantago of Pecria and actually found some, also saw after closely examining
it that it is P, Rugelii described in Gray's Flora of North America. Did you also
notice that the ear is sometimes branched at the top. I have such a specimen, I
also assume that a Plantago which I received from Vercy under the name of sparsiflora
(collected at Mound City) is nothing else but a stunted P, Rugelii., Too trusting,
I put it in my herbarium, but since I had the same experience with other determinations
by Vercy, I shall be more careful in the future, According to Gray this plant exists
only in S. Ca, and Ga,, or do you know of other localities? This means we h2ve to
include Pl. Rugelii and to remove P, sparsiflora, whether also Pl. major descends
till here we shall see next summer, Shoula you have a durlicate of P, sparsiflora,
TI should like to have it,
Do you know the plant catalogue of a Flora of Nebraska by Angley? I suspect it
also to be "'œuesswork!', The comparatively 12rge numbers of eastern nlants listed
thereïin made me suspect th2t the man listed many he h2s not seen 2s growing there,
Such unbelievable statements are, f. i. Aesculus flava, Virburnum pauciflorum
ns I, nn ones DE UE
(see list attached)
Since I am especially interested in plant geography, such things are embarrassing to
me, He lists 1718 vascular plants of which at least 25 percent are strictly western,
among which are several which as far as I know, do not descend from the Rockies
to the Plains,
Should you discover in my work any mistakes with regard to distribution, please
let me know, T myself consider the work incomrlete and in need of improvement,
therefore, IT shall accept any corrections gratefully, How is it with Catalpa speciosa?
Is the species recognized? Gray does not give it or is your description of a later
date? We planted both species here, but predominantly speciosa,. Also C. Kaempferi
you can find here and there, Yes, so many things need to be discussed and I had wished
for a long time to go to St, Louis. Only the worry about the daily bread keeps me
here. 6 living children out of 12! I just married too early.
Soon I shall received a box with German: nlengd (Silesian Exchange Society),
I sha11 send you a list, let me know if you need any of them. I am 2150 exrecting

a package of mosses from À, Walthe
r$
in Bayreuth, Do vou know his beautiful work
about the mosses of Upper Frankonia? ‘Die Laubmoose Oberfrankens, Béiträge
zur Pflanzen-geograrhie u. Systematik und zur Theorie vom Urspruns der Arten
by Dr. Alexander Walther and Ludwig Molendo, Leipzig, 1868, W, Engelmann',
If you are interested, I could sent it to vou for some time, verhaps through our
librarian Soldan who often travels to St. Louis: hercould also bring me the
plants which you promised me, Whereto have Cyrilla 2nmd Cliftoni: been vushed?
Gray omitted them, while he nuts Eliottia with the Ericaceae, But also Serano
does not list them in his Index under Polypetalae, IT still have many more
questions, but enough for today.
Sincerely yours,
Fred Brendel

Dear Doctor:
Since I had waited in vain for an opportunity to send you the book you

by mail, Among the exchange objects I received from Germany are several things
g 1
which might interest you, f. i, several kinds of Characeae mostly from the
r
collection of Braun and Rabenhorst, then many hybrids of rushes from the factory
The Isoetes species would be very welcome, perhaps you also have some
from California for me. I shoulä like to get from there especially woody plants,
Bolander is there again since January of this year; he was gone for four vears.
